John Updike definition of John Updike in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

Updike, John

Born Mar. 18, 1932, in Shillington, Pennsylvania. American writer. Graduate of Harvard University.

Updike published a collection of poems in 1958 and the novella The Poorhouse Fair in 1959. These works were followed by the collection of short stories The Same Door (1959), the novels Rabbit, Run (1960) and The Centaur (1963, Russian translation, 1965), the collections of short stories Pigeon Feathers (1962) and The Music School (1966), the collection of poems Telephone Poles (1963), and the novella Of the Farm (1965, Russian translation, 1967). Inherent in Updike’s works is a constant attention to the spiritual make-up of his contemporaries, together with an unusual stylistic mastery in conveying the dreariness, emptiness, and egocentrism that characterize bourgeois existence. Updike’s short stories contain clear pictures of contemporary America.
